today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten

Turns out I'm not as crazy as I thought, ha HA!  This morning on my way up to work, I thought I passed someone who I wouldn't expect to be in Worcester during the summer.  It kinda bugged me that I wasn't 100%, but according to my friend Holly (Bebel's girlfriend, for those not in the know) it was.  Which... is weirdish.  I mean, I'm not entirely thrilled to be running into this person.  I've taken my lumps and then some.  Not something I wanna get into though.  Moving on to the real point of this post.

So I've started actually writing (as opposed to conceptualizing), and... man it's been FAR too long since I wrote a narrative of any kind.  I'm a little too used to writing for screen or stage, so there's a lot more "fill in the blanks" going on.  But progress is progress.  Ooh, and I've got a bit more of the overall volume figured out too, so that's good.

I'm kind of going in blindish, and hoping it comes out alright.  I've never really been much a fan of my own work. I dunno, I've always been kind of embarrassed at myself.  Not sure if it's because I'm a perfectionist, or if that's why I'm a perfectionist, but I usually try to find some way to make things better than before if I can.

Anyway, the first story, "The Pilot", is off and running.  Under a page so far.  And after this, I have at least seven more to go in the current volume that I've got formulated.  I think this'll end up being about 15 pages when I'm done with it, we'll see though.

So yeah.  Exciting.  My brain is fried, but I'm gonna see if I can crank out a bit more.

Up, up, and away!
